Students and Trainees Subcommittee (STSC)

Who we are and what we do

Who are we?

The STSC is a group of medical physics graduate students and trainees (residents
and post-docs) dedicated to improving the education and professional
development of our peers.

The mission of STSC

STSC encourages communication and collaboration among current and
prospective medical physics trainees and students. As a group of young medical
physicists, our goal is to disseminate information to and amplify the voice of current
students and trainees beginning their careers in medical physics. We want to
encourage student and trainee involvement in AAPM to ensure a successful
future for our profession.

What does STSC do?

STSC encourages communication between students and trainees in medical
physics by sponsoring national events such as:

The Annual Student Meeting, held in conjunction with the national AAPM
meeting. Invited speakers share their thoughts on student-specific topics
such as life after grad school, board certification requirements, and
perspectives on an evolving medical physics profession

The Annual Student Night Out, an event exclusive to students and trainees
at the national AAPM meeting. Gathering informally for food, drinks, and
fun, this event promotes social networking among all of the young
professionals in attendance

STSC supports current and prospective students and trainees by:

Demonstrating the value of students and trainees in AAPM

Providing information on graduate programs, residencies, internships, jobs,
research opportunities, and awards to enhance professional and academic
development

Connecting students and trainees through social networking sites such as:
